American serviceman, Charlie, falls in love with a beautiful Vietnamese girl, Kim, during the Vietnam War. They meet at a horse racetrack in Saigon where Kim, a jockey, is involved in a horse racing accident and Charlie comes to her aid. Their love flourished despite the impediments of war, and grows stronger as together they face enemy shelling, the Easter Offensive, and escape by horseback.
They find quiet times to disclose their private thoughts and dreams, both with unexplained feelings of something beyond fate having a hand in their meeting. They finally break free of the bonds of war, but not before a lie promoted by an enemy agent and Charlie’s racist commanding officer threatens to derail their future.
Years later the couple returns to Vietnam and discovers a hidden connection. Was it fate or was there something else guiding them to find each other?
